Are resumes, references and interviews enough?
Thanks to new technology in assessing people, you can predict job performance.
For decades, many companies used personality tests
to place candidates in jobs. If a person tested as an extrovert,
for example, they were placed in a sales job.
The difficulty with these tests are they measure a person against him/herself.
For example, the dominant part of that person may be that they are an extrovert.
But we don't have a basis of knowing how much of an extrovert they are or how
they compare to other people. Even the word, extrovert,
means different things to people just as does the word outgoing.
As a result, these tests failed to predict performance.
We utilize a new assessment methodology that is developed in the late 90's,
specifically for the purpose of predicting success in
a job. It measures a variety of abilities, interests, motivations and
behaviors. For example, a person may be a "7" in extroversion while
another is a "10". The "10" talks too much, has to be the
center of attention, and doesn't listen well. Do you want to hire that person?
By performing an initial study of your top performers in a specific job, we
are able to develop a customized Job Fit Benchmark.
We then use that benchmark in selecting candidates for that position.
Just as important, we are able to show you who not to hire, thus saving great
amounts of money, time and effort. No one wants to consciously make a bad
hiring decision. Now you don't have to.
Can we develop a job fit pattern if you don't have enough top performers to
assess or if this is a newly created job? Yes. Each job requires certain
traits, interests and abilities. Our work includes Presidents, CEOs, other
senior executives, newly created positions and any type of job from manual
labor to clerical. We are able to develop a pattern based on your specific
requirements. We are also able to assess compatibilities, whether someone
should be on a team and what role they should play on the team. (By the way,
not everyone should be on a team.)
When a person fits a job, they are more productive and easy to manage. when
you select the wrong person, everything suffers, ranging from productivity
lost to bad morale to huge expense. We can help you select the right
candidates.
